A Resort, Resurrected:
Originally conceived as a seasonal hunting and fishing lodge, White Point Beach Resort transformed in the 1970s, becoming a year-round haven. Today, it sprawls across hundreds of acres of pristine Queens County coastline, boasting a kilometre-long white sand beach and employing over 175 full-time and part-time staff in the off-season and over 200 staff in July and August!
Anne Stevens, the Director of Sales, proudly recounts the resort’s evolution, emphasizing the commitment to creating a unique and memorable experience for every guest.
Meetings with a View:
The resort offers over 6,500 square feet of flexible meeting space, including the popular Atlantic Room in the main lodge, providing a panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean. For smaller, intimate gatherings, the Crow’s Nest on the top floor offers a bird’s eye view of Founder’s Lounge and the tidal estuary, setting the stage for private dinners or small meetings. Lakeside Lodge, complete with a beachstone wood-burning fireplace, accommodates up to 100 people for corporate, association, or social events.
Creativity Takes Flight:
Adding a whimsical touch, the resort proudly features ornate owls adorning the walls of its lounge, and soon, the introduction of the “Meeting Owl” promises to elevate conference spaces with avian charm. A testament to their commitment to providing a unique atmosphere, these additions symbolize the resort’s dedication to infusing creativity into every gathering.
Beyond Boardrooms:
While the resort caters to serious business matters, it also thrives on injecting a healthy dose of play into the mix. Guests can choose from a variety of activities, including workshops with local artists, oceanfront mussel bakes, and even culinary workshops featuring food and wine pairings. For the adventurous souls, outdoor scavenger hunts, beach feasts, and guided beach walks with the
resident horticulturist offer a delightful break from the conference room. We also offer Mi’kmaw knowledge sessions including, Making Bannock By The Fire, Smudging Ceremony and Medicine Walks.
Aqua-adventures and Team Building:
The resort’s boathouse, operational from May to October, provides opportunities for team building through activities such as yoga sessions, beach night hikes, surfing, and connections with the traditions of Acadia First Nation. Rowboats, standup paddleboards, kayaks, pickleball, and bicycles ensure that there’s never
a dull moment, and the oceanfront playground, along with the White Point Golf Course, caters to guests seeking recreational outlets.
